The team previously worked out Verrett in September before the Houston Texans signed him to their practice squad. The Texans released the cornerback on Wednesday.
As San Francisco prepares for Sunday's clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Levi's Stadium, the team appears to be keeping tabs on the veteran cornerback in case a need in the defensive backfield arises.
Verrett is a year removed from the Achilles injury he sustained during a practice with the 49ers, ending his 2022 comeback from the ACL injury he suffered during Week 1 of the 2021 season.
Injuries have plagued Verrett's NFL career. His only healthy seasons were in 2015, his second year in the league, and 2020, his second season with the 49ers.
